June Wild Mushrooms

Positioned between May’s spring delights and July’s summer abundance, June can feel like a lull in the foraging season. Look more closely, and June offers a diverse array of wild mushrooms, as chunky chicken of the woods and oyster mushrooms fruit prolifically on the heels of rainstorms. Hemlock varnish shelf, popular with tea and tincture makers, brings color to the coniferous forest. Wild strawberries fruit at trailside clearings and brook trout dart playfully across streams. By mid-June, early Boletes (pored, mycorrhizal fungi) enter the picture, and the mindful mushroom hunter can even spot the season’s first chanterelles, golden specks slowly ripening in time for a July harvest. 

In this June online class, we will prepare you for an abundant summer season as we learn how to anticipate and recognize June’s top edibles. How early will you find your first chanterelle of 2024?
